Anyone else just watch the Raven Secret Temple final?

[foxinsocks]

my children love this programme

I've had to stifle my guffaws throughout most of it!

Do you think Raven negotiated more screen time for this series then ?

[RTKangaMummy]

We rushed back from Sussex for DS to watch this - we got here in time

So had a happy DS

[foxinsocks]

aaah, lucky ds!

must admit, I never thought Sonro would win (if you'd asked me at the start!)

we were away for a week of it and I did that series link thing on sky+ and it worked - I was convinced it wouldn't record!

[LIZS]

We did ! Thought it was a bit of an anticlimax tbh but good eye candy

[foxinsocks]

yes, they could have come up with some more exciting challenges I thought - some harder riddles or something

all the bits where they weren't doing challenges were dull

and we could have done without the whole Raven Nevar play fight

[Miaou]

Ditto - my kids loved it, I was pmsl at the awful wooden acting and crap polystyrene rocks.

Nevar rising from the ruins - never saw that one coming ... ooooh no

[foxinsocks]

lolol

was thinking EXACTLY the same about the rocks

SURELY if they can fly them all out to India on the budget, they could get some more realistic rocks?

[RTKangaMummy]

We were busy unpacking the car so didn't see it, so can't really comment

[JackieNo]

DD watched it, though I was out in the kitchen at the time, and came and told me in breathless detail about how exciting it was. They're almost real people to her (though she does realise it's not a documentary).

[LIZS]

Wasn't it convenient that 2 got eliminated along the way !

[JackieNo]

DD was very impressed when I told her that Nevar was Raven backwards.

[LIZS]

how did I miss that lol !

[JackieNo]

[foxinsocks]

I still can't quite imagine what possessed them to do it in India (I know it's the partition celebration and all...but still)

it's not like we got to admire the Indian scenery or anything

they could have easily shot it in that Hindu temple in Brent (Shri Swaminarayan Mandir - had to google the name ) and we would have been none the wiser. Well that, and some empty brownfield site or something!

[JackieNo]

I assumed it was an attempt to widen the audience, and maybe sell it abroad.

[JackieNo]

(but you're right - could have got much the same effect for less money)

[foxinsocks]

The actress playing Sajirani's a Bollywood actress I'm sure

[LIZS]

Has anyoen's dc compeleted the BBC online game ? Ds is looking for moons !

[Miaou]

dd1 was doing it earlier - she said she found a moon in the sand (????) - but she's given up for now

[LIZS]

Found the moons but where's that symbol, lol !

[foxinsocks]

how do you get across the path with the symbols on?

dd asked me to help but trying to navigate is making me feel travel sick ( - I'm just no good at those moving type of games - I couldn't figure out why I felt so ill sitting at the computer but fine when I stood up )

[UnquietDad]

My DD, who loves "Raven", got me to register her on the CBBC site just so she could play the "Raven" online game.

After all the very sensible warnings on the site about not giving out your details, etc, what's the first thing the Raven site invites you to do? Put in your first name and surname, of course, so it can make up your "warrior name". Slightly mixed signals...

[foxinsocks]

Hmm, how odd

we didn't have to register to play it (I don't think)

[LIZS]

Are you looking at the same game UD We registered for the last one iirc but not this .

[UnquietDad]

this one?

[LIZS]

yes that's the one. Don't think we registered though we get straight in and it just saved it as whatever date we started.
